On wanting to keep the status of her relationship private: "No, I do not want to comment on my relationship, period. It's private. It doesn't belong to the world. It's mine. It's Brian's. It's not for other people to judge and talk about and write about in In Touch Weekly."

On the theory that her sudden success emasculated Green: "He went through this already, and he doesn't want it back–It was horrible. So he has sympathy. He's the one person that I know that if I'm struggling and everything's getting crazy, I can call."

On misbehaving while growing up: "I was grounded for all my childhood. Not most–all. I wasn't doing anything particularly crazy. I just never appreciated authority figures preaching to me."

On being bullied and picked on at school: "I think, for me, what was intimidating was that I've always gotten along better with boys. That rubbed people the wrong way."

On maturing early: "I've lived the life of a 35-year-old since I was 18. I'm so suspicious of boys-slash-men. I just don't like them or trust them."

On giving male writers an amped-up version of her past: "They're boys; they're easily toyed with. I tell stories and have them eating out of my hand."
